Showers Tapering, Milder Memorial Day Afternoon In South Central Pennsylvania
Isolated showers are possible later today, with highs climbing to the mid-70s.
SCENE, AND NO WORD ON WHEN AN EVACUATION ORDER WILL BE LIFTED. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. AND YOU’RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. STORM TRACKER EIGHT IN YORK RIGHT NOW. STILL GOT THE CLOUDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE IN PARTS OF YORK COUNTY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. BUT ALL THAT IS GOING TO START COMING TO AN END HERE. AND IT REALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR LOCATION, BECAUSE IN YORK, YOU CAN STILL SEE, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE CLOUDS, EVEN WET ROADS THERE, BUT WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THINGS CLEAR OUT HERE IN HARRISBURG THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT BLUE SKY RETURN TO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE DOMINANT AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, AS THE SYSTEM FINALLY BEGINS TO PULL AWAY. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. WE’VE STILL GOT A LITTLE BIT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS THERE IN PARTS OF LANCASTER AND YORK COUNTY. SAME THING ADAMS AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, EVEN A LITTLE STRAY SHOWER THERE IN NORTHERN MIFFLIN COUNTY. BUT IN BETWEEN WE HAVE A BLUE SKY THERE IN PARTS OF HARRISBURG AND ALSO IN PERRY, CUMBERLAND AND JUNIATA COUNTY. SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS AS WE ARE STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK HERE AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON. STILL GOT A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS THOUGH, AND SOME SPRINKLES NEAR MOUNT JOY MANHEIM BOROUGH ITSELF, LITITZ THERE. AND ALSO COLUMBIA ALONG ROUTE 30 INTO YORK COUNTY. SAME THING. GOT A FEW SPRINKLES HERE AND THERE. DOVER, EAST BERLIN AND SPRING GROVE. SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN. NEW OXFORD AND GETTYSBURG ALL THE WAY TOWARDS GREENCASTLE THERE, AND SOUTH MOUNTAIN. ALSO SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SHOWERS. AND ALSO IN WAYNESBORO FOR SOUTHERN FRANKLIN COUNTY, WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE ALL THIS, THOUGH, MOVE OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, AND THAT SHOULD HELP US GET AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE HERE FOR MEMORIAL DAY. WE’LL BE GOING UP TO AROUND 7476 DEGREES LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. AND THEN TONIGHT, SOME CLEARING, SPOTTY SHOWER, HIT OR MISS, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE MORE DRY THAN ANYTHING ELSE FOR OUR AREA. ALSO, SOME PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUT EARLY TOMORROW, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER SOME OF THAT CLOUDS AND SUN WITH A STRAY SHOWER TOMORROW AFTERNOON WARMER. WE’LL GET UP TO AROUND 80 DEGREES FOR THE AFTERNOON ON YOUR TUESDAY, AND THEN OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY. HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN EARLY IN THE MORNING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE, AND THEN TAPERING TO MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON ON WEDNESDAY. SO LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN EXPECTED DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. THAT WILL MAKE WEDNESDAY AN IMPACT DAY FOR THE AREA. JUST BECAUSE, AGAIN, WE WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME OF THAT RAIN IN THE MORNING. LET’S SHOW YOU SOME PREDICTOR AS WE GET THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WE CLEAR THINGS OUT, AT LEAST IN TERMS OF THE RAIN, A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING FOR TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE THOSE CLOUDS COME BACK IN THE AFTERNOON ON YOUR TUESDAY. AGAIN, SPOTTY AFTERNOON SHOWER, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE THE DRIER DAY HERE, AT LEAST FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THERE’S THAT MORNING RAIN THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY. NOTICE THE TIME SIX, SEVEN, 8:00 IN THE MORNING GOT SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AT TIMES ACROSS THE AREA. AND THEN WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK TOWARDS LUNCHTIME BEFORE MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS COME IN DURING THE AFTERNOON ON WEDNESDAY. SO THAT AGAIN IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN. AND THEN REALLY AFTER THAT WE DRY THINGS OUT. SO ONCE WE GET THROUGH WEDNESDAY’S RAINFALL, WE KIND OF SHUT OFF THE GARDEN HOSE, SO TO SPEAK, FOR THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. AND HEADING TOWARDS THE WEEKEND WE WILL SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE STARTING ON THURSDAY. THAT CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS WE GET READY TO START THE MONTH
